75 Years Ago Today - Eileen's Diary - June 14, 1939

This entry is a post from the diary of my mother, twenty year old Eileen KINNICK, 75 Years Ago this date. She kept a diary from 1932 as a freshman in high school until she left us, too early, in 1999.

Here is the daily entry for Wednesday, June 14:

Rainy. Dad bro't Buss out & took the washing in. Nearly finished
cot cover before dinner. Buss helped. Pete reading "Tess." Rain made him
quit plowing corn. He plowed after dinner. I got ready to go to club
but no one came so I stayed home & finished cover. Made white cake.
Got supper. In town. Saw Max & Orrin. Got groc, meat, came home
& went to bed.

My comments:

Seems that now when she says "plowing" see actually means "cultivating" - as in "plowing corn."

Pete
reading "Tess" - a very old book. In 1979 it was made into a Romance Film by Roman Polanski… "an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 1891 novel
"Tess of the d'Urbervilles." A classic.
